Naturopathic
Medicine: Reinventing primary care physicians.
Naturopathic Medicine manages a broad range of health conditions affecting every
type of person of all ages. It exists to treat the whole person without harm through
the healing power of nature by finding the root cause of minor illnesses and preventing
them from developing into more serious chronic and degenerative diseases. Naturopathic
Medicine offers education and training to patients and counsels them into healthier
lifestyles. Future physicians studying Naturopathic Medicine are educated with the same
general medical curriculum as an M.D., but also study traditional natural therapeutics
emphasizing lifestyle changes, disease prevention, and optimal wellness. With this said,
and in line with treating the whole person, doctors of Naturopathic Medicine are being
recognized as primary care physicians. They perform physical examinations, laboratory testing,
gynecological exams, nutritional and dietary assessments, metabolic analysis, and allergy
testing. They may order diagnostic testing, as well as incorporate a wide variety of natural
therapeutics. The current scope of Naturopathic Medicine includes, but is not limited to:
Clinical
Nutrition
Hydrotherapy
Botanical
Medicine
Homeopathic
Medicine
Physical
Medicine
Oriental
Medicine
Naturopathic
Obstetrics
Psychological
Medicine

Because
Naturopathic Medicine focuses on a proactive approach,
it is making a strong case in lieu of the increased
incidence of chronic degenerative diseases among our
aging population. For example, "Early onset Alzheimer's
disease, designated by its incidence under the age of
60, afflicts about 200,000 Americans or about 5 percent
of the estimated four million who suffer from AD." In
conventional medicine, treating symptoms is the primary
focus; in Naturopathic Medicine the physicians are trained
to find the underlying cause of an illness. Their patients
are taught the principles of healthy living in order
to prevent major illnesses. Also, conventional doctors
are prescribing more and more medications that cause
side effects, leaving the patients scared, confused,
and at times reluctant to continue treatment. It is
a distinct principle that therapies of Naturopathic
Medicine avoid causing harm.
